black widow

1 oz Bank Note Scotch (Famous Grouse Smoky Black)
1 oz Laird's Bonded Apple Brandy
1/2 oz Honey Syrup
2 dash Fee's Walnut Bitters (4 dash Strongwater Mountain Elixirs Walnut)

Stir with ice, strain into a coupe glass, and garnish with a lemon twist.Two Thursdays ago, I was perusing an online recipe flashcard set for Ward 8 in Boston, and I found the Black Widow that seemed like an interesting Scotch-apple brandy up drink that otherwise read like a honey-sweetened Old Fashioned with walnut bitters. I was able to uncover that it was created by Mike Wyatt via a StarChefs article, and I was able to date it to around 2015 by Yelp reviews. Once mixed, the Black Widow wove a lemon, apple, and honey-floral bouquet. Next, a honey-driven sip bit into Scotch, apple, floral, and walnut flavors on the swallow.
